Adventure vs Shoji White

AdventureJotunvsShoji WhiteSherwin-WilliamsΔE 35.3Very different colors

Adventure is a Jotun color while Shoji White comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. At LRV 74 vs 25, Shoji White will read as the brighter of the two — a 49-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 35.3, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 6 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
